“…Therefore, obesity would be an additional postural constraint for stabilizing the base of support during a movement. Several studies have shown a close relationship between obesity and postural stability [3,4,[27][28][29][30]. Results of our study are in accordance with the literature and highlight that obese children have a less stable base in a standing position which affects the performance of a task requiring speed and precision.…”

“…Na verdade, sugere-se que os jogadores de futebol americano não tenham um bom equilíbrio e que devam receber um melhor treinamento (sensório motor) de equilíbrio postural durante à prática esportiva. Handigran et al 20 deu suporte esta hipótese, mostrando que os jogadores de linha no futebol americano apresentam equilíbrio postural semelhante aos grupos de obesos sedentários e controles instáveis, quando em comparação com os sujeitos controle do seu estudo durante o apoio bipodal. Infelizmente, não houve nenhum estudo comparando o controle postural dos jogadores de handebol com essas modalidades, o que, por sua vez, limita a discussão dos presentes achados.…”
